CRANBERRY-APPLE MINI LOAVES



Cranberry-Apple Mini Loaves image

I love mini loaves. How cute are they?!? And you can't beat cranberries and apples together. Plus, this uses cranberry sauce, which is great for when cranberries aren't in season. This recipe comes from Home and Gardens' "Old-Fashioned Home Baking." Prep time is a guess.

LENNIE'S CRANBERRY MANDARIN MINI LOAVES



Lennie's Cranberry Mandarin Mini Loaves image

Many years ago I made a cranberry-orange bread from a magazine clipping. It got lost and I've never found a suitable replacement, but this year, with the help and encouragement of Zaar members, I created my own version -- and I love it! I used the mini loaf pans to make this, so I could have 4. If you use bigger loaf pans, you will need to bake the loaves longer.

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (if using frozen, no need to thaw)
2 eggs
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1 (10 ounce) can mandarin oranges in juice, 1/4 cup juice reserved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F; spray 4 mini loaf pans with Pam and set aside (you could also do this in two 8x4 loaf pans, if you can't find the smaller pans, but the baking time will likely be longer).
  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt); add cranberries to flour mixture and stir so berries are somewhat coated in flour-- this helps prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaves when baking.
  • Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk (I used lowfat milk) with a mixer on low, then beat in 1/4 cup juice reserved from tinned oranges, the oil, the extract and the orange zest.
  • Stir wet mixture into dry mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened; do not overmix.
  • Make sure tinned oranges are well drained, then stir into batter.
  • Divide batter between 4 mini loaf pans (you'll find they'll be about 3/4 full).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes; a tester will come out clean.
  • Cool on rack in tins for about 15 minutes, then remove from tins and let sit on rack until completely cool.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cranberries and apples provide the best flavor and texture for these mini loaves. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.

  • Bake the Mini Loaves Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the loaves are cooked through.
  • Let the Mini Loaves Cool Completely Before Glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Store the Mini Loaves in an Airtight Container at Room Temperature: They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
